Couldn't sleep longer.

.

I woke, clean awake, at 19:00 and change.  I had to push, pull, tug, and else to stay in bed a bit longer.  Being that I looked at the clock, right after crawling in, and remember this time, right at 13:21.  I slept pretty much immediately.  That was just too short of a sleep. 

I made it to 22:00.  Still a bit shy on sleep, but... it's... more, and more like a night.

Oh, the electric blanket works better down in the pile, mid-layer.  The pillows, though, where chill.  Sleep last night must have been topsy-turvy, because the blankets were a mess this morning.  But I so liked slipping into a mildly warmed bed, that I redid the blankest right first thing.  Though this time, I pull the electric blanket up over the pillows.  It just covers the sleeping area, exactly.  Which is fine.  I just have to remember to turn the thing on an half hour to hour before I go up there.

And, I only have it on for two hours, don't need extra warmth all night.  Might even pull on of the other blankets off, or two.  Getting a bit too warm.  It is 52 near me, and 50 out in the room.  Which is a bit chill.  Incentive to get out, get dressed, and get going.  I am rather comfortable sleeping in that.

I dreamed of Sam.  Our ten year friendship, and some I think.  Initial problems, alterations, fixes.  She taught me, I got some give and take from her, and we sorted things out.  I'm just glad I could be with her in the end.  A terribly wonderful experience.  I tell you, I still sense her.  Less and less, but sometimes... she peaks in.  Not a ghost, mind you.  Sassy notices too, sometimes when I do, and sometimes when I don't.

Well... water is heating.  Probably just for a tea first thing.  I'll wait until two or three to begin eating and drinking things with calories.  Oh, the trash and recycling were both picked up.  I pulled the empty bins back, in the early afternoon.  Very good.  Even if they hadn't been picked up, all would be good.  Not their fault in any case.  They have a route, and it is highly variable.  They don't choose when to be by.  Can't complain about their work.  Grateful, to be flat honest.

Knees are still very sore.  Mostly just to the touch.  Bruised them harshly.  But, they will improve.  Damage to flesh is an opportunity for growth in the healing.  Or... that is what I have told myself through more wounds and other damage than you will ever imagine.  If every cut and hemorrhage I have experienced, happened at once, I wouldn't have enough to bleed it all.  There is a term for it, exsanguination.  I have probably lost my weight in blood through time, not even counting blood noses.  One time alone I lost, they thought perhaps, 60% of my blood in one go.  Ate saline for the half hour in, and they stopped the bleeding as well, and first.  Cold.  Never been so cold.

On to some tea, a perusal of the work of certain netizens, then back to gaming.  Good evening, day, and night.
